Tell me some of the spooky/paranormal/unexplained shit that's happened to you?
You got any theories?
I've had stuff like that happen a few times, I mostly put it down to brief psychosis or mice knocking shit off shelves though.
The otherwise inevitable paranoia about being stalked or a home invasion, if they were actually happening, would not have been a fun experience. And like there's not much I'd have been able to do anyway as police are useless wankers and people who break into houses while the residents are home are psychos best avoided.
Commiserations on the exploding head syndrome btw, that does not sound pleasant.

The promotion thing is a fun one to ponder on, like you (probably?) could not have known to even make an educated guess about the other job, so unless you're prone to self sabotage, that was a pretty cool 'prediction'.
I tried automatic writing a few times in my teens, I think I was doing it wrong though as I was just letting words flow stream of consciousness style in shorthand or typing, and it mostly just produced a bunch of poorly written trauma dumping or half baked ideas for short stories, lmao.

So I don't generally believe in the supernatural stuff, but I've had a few experiences I can't explain that still freak me out a bit.
I used to live in a 3 bedroom apartment with a rotation of 2-3 other roommates that worked out being about 7 different people that lived there during the 2 years I lived at the place. Every single one, including myself, had a nightmare experience that only happened while living there.
The nightmare wouldn't seem different from an average dream. Then you'd notice a presence like someone who wasn't supposed to be there. Eventually the discomfort of this presence would become overbearing and wake you up. Which is when you'd realize you were in sleep paralysis and hear a woman screaming loudly in your room.
Eventually you'd shake off the paralysis and have to decompress from whatever the hell occurred. But man was it strange that it happened to all 7 roommates the exact same way and was isolated to that random apartment.
Bonus experience - At that same place I once woke up to my computer turning on by itself. The monitor lit up my small room and when I woke up to see what was going on it looked like my room was filled with smoke. There was no smell of smoke, but in my sleepy haze I didn't care as I thought it was a possible fire. So I carefully touched the door handle to make sure it wasn't going to burn me. It was fine, I opened the door and it was dark and normal for the middle of the night. I turned back to my room and watched the smoke somewhat slowly disappear. I have no explanation for what I saw that night and have never had a similar experience since then.

Oooh fuck that nightmare shit sounds spooky, maybe it was some kind of subsonic vibration you all were picking up on, like old pipes or tube tunnels under the building or something. Didn't mythbusters or brainiac or something have an episode on that, I can't remember if they were all having the same hallucinations?
I was just about to share a similar-ish but funny and not paranormal story, till I realised it was one of those 'funny stories' that are only funny to the person telling them and everybody else just looks at you weird and quietly says things like "oh my god" and "I'm so sorry". Lmao. Proud of myself for catching that.

Yeah I have no clue what could have caused the shared sleep paralysis demon there. Oddly enough I moved back to the same apartment complex, but a different building about 500nfeet away from the original one and never had any weird experiences
